Years The Challenge

Rick Schwartz–Founder & Creator
Rick Schwartz, known worldwide as “The Domain King®” is one of the pioneers of the domain-name industry, and he is the Founder and Creator of Beanstalk Challenge.
Over a 30-year career on the Internet, Rick assembled a portfolio of approximately 6,500 domain names, including some of the most recognizable category-defining digital assets in the world. His landmark domain sales include Porno.com for $8.888 million, Candy.com for $3 million plus equity, Men.com for $1.32 million, and iReport.com to CNN for $750,000.
Rick was also the co-founder of the legendary T.R.A.F.F.I.C. domain conferences, which helped shape the modern domain-investment industry.
Today, rather than simply selling extraordinary domains, Rick is putting them to work.
Through Beanstalk Challenge, he is entrusting 7 and 8-figure category-defining domain names to talented builders at no acquisition cost and giving them the opportunity to turn those digital assets into real businesses through sweat equity, passion, vision and talent.
The mission is simple: We provide the domain. You provide the vision.
